Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through superior base damages and Q sustain, especially if you land E to create soul pressure.
- Post-6 you lose 1v1s to good Fioras who properly dodge E and parry your R, making the matchup skill-dependent but Fiora-favored.
How to Trade
- You want to land E then immediately Q the soul while threatening W if she approaches, forcing her to either take soul damage or engage into your tentacle zone.
- Focus on zoning with tentacle placement rather than chasing, as her mobility makes extended pursuits ineffective.
Wave Control
- You should hard push waves to create time for tentacle setup and recall timings, as Fiora cannot match your waveclear with Q.
- Slow pushes give her too much time to destroy tentacles and set up favorable trades around vitals.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot waste E cooldown on minions or miss it entirely, as Fiora will immediately engage when your primary trading tool is down.
- Fighting without tentacles nearby or using R when she has W available will result in lost trades even with your ultimate advantage.
